Review your operating authority history before November 30
On November 30, 2026, Highway will transition to using Motus as the source of truth for operating authority history. From that date, brokers will use the operating authority history data from Motus to verify continuous authority age requirements. To give you time to check it, Highway now shows you your authority and authority history in Highway for Carriers.
Why this is changing
On May 14, 2026, the FMCSA began the transition to Motus. Highway has not yet utilized Motus data for a carrier's operating authority history as there has been a pattern of data discrepancies. As we reach the six month mark of the transition, we need to begin relying on Motus as the data source for operating authority history.
How to review your authority history
Go to your profile in Highway for Carriers.
Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page.
Check the operating authority history carefully.
The Authority History section shows your grant date, days of authority, and each docket with its authority type and current status. If something looks wrong, the "Something look wrong?" box has a Contact FMCSA button.
If something is incorrect
The authority history shown in Highway for Carriers comes straight from Motus. If you find any inconsistencies, please work with the FMCSA to correct them before November 30, 2026: https://motus.dot.gov/contact-fmcsa
